"A shame... a pretty young woman like you... married to an old cripple. You ought to have some fun." Followed, inevitably, by adultery and murder. In another story, an abused wife ties her sleeping husband to bedposts and exacts hideous revenge. The Crypt Keeper presides over all of this domestic mayhem with a leer and a sneer as he casually encourages juvenile delinquency and terrorism ("Bye now! Buy Bombs!").
